I like Trade-Ideas because they provide the best real time scanner in the market and they try to keep their software the best one by adding constantly new features.

Buy stock on pullback
In my opinion it's always better to buy a stock in an uptrend than to buy one in a downtrend.
One strategy that is well known, but I personally never tested it, is to buy dip on uptrend.
Buy on a pullback while stock is trending up, is one common strategy used by many traders over the world.
This strategy can be modeled in Trade-Ideas and I will start back-testing it soon.

TICK and TRIN indicators
TICK and TRIN are two indicators that measure the general sentiment of the market. They can be used both to determine near term market movement. Theses indicators are not well know by traders, and because they can be very important in implementing trading strategies, I will explain in this article what theses indicators are about. First the tick data can be found on the NYSE, NASDAQ or AMEX; TICK on NYSE is the difference between the up ticks and the down ticks for all stocks that are traded in this exchange.
Example: Now, there are 400 stocks whose last trade is an up tick and 200 stocks whose last trade is a down tick, the Tick data show then a value of +200.

Is ADX the best technical indicator?
Here is a link where people are talking about ADX (Directional movement indicator), they are saying that ADX is probably the best indicator that can be used for scalpers, day traders, swing traders an even position traders.
The first thing I did after reading this thread, is creating a trading system based on this indicator and back-testing it. The problem is I don't have tick data, so I used end of day data, and came up with very nice results, so I really suggest you to consider the ADX and to do your home work (back-testing)...

What make a stock suitable for day trading?
Every stock must have some basic characteristics or factors that make it suitable for day trading; the following characteristics are the most important:
• Liquidity
• Spread
• Volatility
First, liquidity is necessary because you want to enter and exit a trade quickly. Liquidity also makes some pattern to be stronger, imagine a channel breakout that occurs; if the stock is not liquid then nobody will make the stock moving higher.

CHBO Outperform Russell2000 Index during bull and bear market
I will compare in this article; the performance of CHBO alerts VS performance of Russell2000 index. To be profitable, an alert should outperform the index in bull and bear markets.

Example:
CHBO Alert for GOOG, I buy the stock 400$ at 10:00 and sold the stock 410$ at 12:00 for a performance of 2.5%, during that time the Russell2000 Index was at 660 at 10:00 and 666,6 at 12:00, its performance then was about 1%. The stock outperformed the Russell2000 Index.
